Ladies and Gentlemen:
As Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of
Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc. ("Tricon"), I have acted as
counsel to Tricon in connection with the Registration Statement
on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") being filed today with
the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), of $7,200,000 in unsecured obligations (the "Deferred
Compensation Obligations") of Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc. to
pay deferred compensation in the future in accordance with the
terms of the Restaurant Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan").
In connection with the opinion set forth below, I have
examined such records and documents and have made such
investigations of law and fact as I have deemed necessary.
Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Deferred
Compensation Obligations being registered pursuant to the
Registration Statement to which this opinion is an exhibit, when
incurred in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be valid
and binding obligations of Tricon, enforceable in accordance with
their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting enforcement of creditor's rights or by
general equity principles.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement and to the use of my name in the
Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not admit
that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required
under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Christian L. Campbell
